MANAGING A KICKING HORSE.

The american CultiUdtor gives the
following directions for preventing a
vicious horse from kicking while in the
shafts:
&. A kicker is dangerous piece OF
property, and when the habit is con.
firmed it will be better to consign the
subject to the horse-car stables. The
habit can sometimes be broken up by
the following method: Take a small
cord about two-thirds the size of a
mans little finger and twenty feet in
length; double it; place the center
upon the top of the head, back of the
ears, bring down on each side of the
face, place the cords in the animal 8
mouth and cross them, bring them up
between the eyes, cross them, and slip
both ends through small ring or loop
and carry the ring down to the point
where the lines cross between the eyes
so as to hold them in place. Have two
small rings sewed to the headstalI
about two inches apart, and one ring
an inch or so in diameter fastened to
the backstrap of the harness at the
point where the hipstraps pass through.
The latter can be slipped over the
crupper against the hipstraps, which
will keep it from slipping forward.
Pass one end of the cord through each
ring on the headstall, bring the ends
together, carry them along the neck.
pass them under the saddle, extend
them along the back and through the
ring over the hips, then bring one end
down to the right shaft and the other
to the left, and fasten securely to the
shafts, leaving slack enough so the
animal can travel easily. When rig
ged in this manner every attempt to
kick will bring a strong pressure upon
the cords crossed in the mouth and
divert the attention of the frisky sub
iect.

Anecdotes of John Roach.

John Roach's sympathy with work.
ing people was boundless. Finding an
old man in his shop one day who had
worked with him when a j0urneyman,
he asked his foreman what he was pay.
ing him. He answered 81 day, which
was all he was worth. Roach ordered
the old man to be paid 81 day and to
be supplied with decent home and
plenty of fuel for the cold days. An
other instance related to boy who
used to come into his. shop and black
his boots. Thinking him too bright to
grow up in the streets, he proposed to
him to come into the shop and learn a
trade. The boy said he could not af-
ford to work for 81 week, as he had a
mother and sisters to support and could
earn 80 a week backing boots. There
upon Mr.. Roach offered him So week,
of which Sc was to be repaid after COM
pleting his trade. When Roach made
his assignmenthe was paying the young
man he had thus humanely rescued from
the streets 5000 4 wear.

sumption on the farm. The idea Il
generally entertained that they are not
as profitable to raise as corn, and hence
are always made to take secondary
place. In the first place, Let us COM
pare the cost of producing an acre OF
oats and their value with corn. 1t Is
estimated that "a per acre viii cover
the cost of blowing, sowing, harvest
ing. and stacking. including seed.
The straw, II valued by the amount
Of fat and flesh-forming principles il
contains, is worth about half as much
as an equal quantity of ordinary mea-
dow hay, or about one-third as much
as the same weight of corn. In other
words, if the product of oats straw be
a ton per acre, it is equivalent in feed
ing value to half q ton of meadow hay
or six hundred and sixty-six pounds
(neariy twelve bushels) Of corn.
The feeding value of any kind Of
food Is determined by chemical analy-
sis, which fixes the feeding value of q
fbnshel Of oats ut about two-thiIxis that
of bushel of corn. If, therefore, a
crop of corn be thirty-six bushels per
acre, it will require ton Of oats straw
and thirty six bushels of oats to equal
the feeding value Of the thirty-six
bushels Of corn. If the product of
corn be sixty bushels per acre, it will
require ton of the oats straw and
seventy bushels of oats to make feed
ing equivalent.
Again, there is difference of at
least$3 an acre in favor of the produc-
ton of the oats, particularly if the oats
are cut early and fed in the sheaf, no
allowance being made for the corn
stalks, for which the oats stubble
makes full compensation by allowing
the land to be prepared so much earlier
for wheat.

An Emp.y Nest.
&siisd together . eetIy motS;


Agraye old man and maiden fair
Walked together at early morn;
The thrushee up in the clear cSSi air
Sang 70 the farmer planting his corp.
And, Oh. how sweet was the ffesh-turned
And, oh, how fair,were the budding treesi
Were fun ofthe happy hOney.bees.
"Ah. Iooki there's an empty nest. "she said.
And ] wonder where sing the last years
Then the Old man quickly raised his head,
Though scarcely he noted her muRing words
He tore the nest from the swaying tree,
He flung 70 the winds ita moss and hay,
And said, when an empty nest you see,
Be sure that you throw 1t far away"
''But whyf" she asked, withia sorrowing face
why may not the pretty home abider'
Because, he answered, Twill be place
In which the worm and the slug viii hide.
Last year twas fair enough In its way
Ii was full of love, and merry with song;
But days that are gone must not spoil to-day,
Nor dead joys do the living joys wrong"
The maiden heard with thoughtful face
Her first false love had gone Tar away
And she thought, 10 my heart become place
For anger and grief and hate 10 stayl
Down, heart, with thy sad, forsaken nesti
Fling far thy selnsh and idle pain;
The love that is ours Is always the best;
And she went with smile to her work

The peculiar and often disastrous
results attendant upon an electric dis
charge have been dwelt upon since
time immemorial. To even briefly re-
fer to the numerous recorded instances
of the destruction of life and property
by the discharge of ..heaven's artil-
lery" would far exceed the limits of
this paper. 1t is my purpose, there
fore, to call attention only to those
peculiarly interesting, though usually
quite harmless, effects produced by the
lightning striking in loose sand;
though, before closing, shall allude
to the closely allied phenomena result
| ing from similar discharges upon solid
rock. In sand, as is well known, the
usual result produced is that of fusion.
whereby frail, CLASSY tube of variable
diameter and length is produced, the
interior of which is true amorphous
glass. quite smooth, while exteriorly it
IS roughly granular and greatly CORFU
gated. Such are called tnlgarites or
Observation-Disclosures in English, while, to
the German and French, they are
known as Blitzrohren and t,tbes titlnsi-
ssGires respectively.
So far as can be learned from avail
able literature, the earliest description
to be made of these peculiar objects
was that Of Pastor David Hermann in
I'LL. According to Gilbert, this gem
tleman, as early as 1706 and 1907, dug
from sand-hill in Massel, Silesia, full
gurites some twenty feet in length.
which he very fully described in his
work on Massel and its curiosities,
Hermann's account is curious and
full of interest, as his statements con-
cerning the origin of the tubes were
the purest guess-work, and his views
regarding them wild in the extreme.
he designated them by the name OF
't0steocolla," and proposed to use
them for medicinal purposes. George

OyER-EsrIMATEs IN POULTRY.

Because poultry is claimed to pay
large profits in proportion to the
amounts invested therein, it does not
follow that all who venture in the
poultry business will get rich or make
money. 1t requires capital to conduct
great enterprises, and if large amounts
are expected, large sums must be in
vested. 1t is mistake to mislead per-
sons into the belief that there are
enormous profits in poultry. But few
persons have large sums invested, and
test has never yet been made as to
what could really be accomplished.
Those who succeed know that it is the
man or woman, and not always the
birds, that make success. Like any
other business, one must thoroughly
understand it. Keeping few fiocks
of fowls, and venturing upon the
management of thousands, are differ
ent operations. A small flock can be
well kept where thousands could not
exist. Yet there are no impossible
ties, and as we progress in the art OF
poultry raising, the business becomes
easier and more perfectly understood.
